A member asked:
Can i have an orchiopexy done if i have bell clapper deformity so theres a high risk of torosion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Elective orchiopexy is possible. I don't recommend it unless you've had episodes of pain or had actual torsion. I see plenty of bell clapper deformities in adults and only recommend fixing if they've had pain. Be prepared to take at least 3 weeks off from heavy activity.
